Cornerback Rasul Douglas amongst seven inactive vs. Steelers

The Buffalo Bills will be without multiple stars on both sides of the ball in their wild card matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The biggest name that will not be suiting up is cornerback Rasul Douglas. Douglas was injured against Miami in the regular season finale last Sunday night. Dane Jackson filled in admirably for Douglas, and the Bills will need another top tier performance from the former seventh-round pick. 

Wide receiver Gabe Davis is also out with a knee injury, which means the Bills will lean on Khalil Shakir in the pass game, as well as Trent Sherfield as a blocker in the run game. Safety Taylor Rapp and linebacker Tyrel Dodson are also inactive after being injured vs. the Dolphins.

The full inactive list is as follows:

• WR Gabe Davis
• S Taylor Rapp
• LB Tyrel Dodson
• CB Rasul Douglas
• DE Kingsley Jonathan
• OL Alec Anderson
• DT Poona Ford

Having so many of their key players on either side of the ball inactive may make this a tougher outing for the Bills than originally expected.
